Because Marshon obviously would have been getting the same amount of minutes with a team that finished in the top 4 compated to the team that was a bottom 5 team last season

Marshon would've been behind Allen and Bradley in the depth chart and add in the fact that Doc makes rookies earn their minutes ahead of veterans, Marshon would have gotten the same amount of playing time as JaJuan did last season.

Playing time or no playing time. Marshon will be in this league for several years. Johnson is most likely going overseas or D-League. Brooks is by far the better player. More polished and is able to start in the NBA. Johnson would be hard pressed to start a D-League game.

Exactly.

Brooks would not have developed so quickly had he remained with the Celtics.

The way it works out, the C's allowed someone else to develop a player (Lee) and then brought him in. It really worked out great for Brooks ... and Lee. Kinda sucks for JJJ though.

I don't think the issue is Brooks vs. Johnson. It's more an argument of taking the safe-bet role player vs. trading way down for a project. And then abandoning the project almost immediately. That's not a very good strategy, but also franchise players don't usually get picked 25h overall so who cares I guess.

JJ was kind of destined to fail though. He was overdrafted, under-weight, and buried in the depth chart. I agree it's a shame that his career will probably sputter out from here, but in reality this happens to like 2/3rds of the guys drafted every year

Lets say if the Celtics did draft Marshon though, DA still would've signed Terry and Lee. Which probably means that Marshon would've been either undressed every night or apart of the Lee S&T.

Johnson would be a D league all star but I get your point. Danny should have taken Marshon. 100% agree.
